Short Police Chase Ends in Severe Crash

At around 1:00am on Tuesday night a Police Officer observed a driver at the intersection of St. Johns Pl. and Brooklyn Ave. talking on his cell phone, the officer pulled up behind the car to perform a traffic stop when the blue Honda station wagon took off at a high rate of speed, upon reaching the intersection of Brooklyn and Eastern Parkway the fleeing vehicle attempted to make a left turn, but the combination of speed and wet roads sent the car onto the median then trough a bench and into a parked minivan. The driver then got out of his wrecked car and began fleeing on foot and was stopped a short minute later by a vigilant resident who tackled the suspect and held him for police.

Soldiers celebrate Purim 2006.

Surfside, FL — Out of sight, out of mind . . . When Jewish holidays come around, it’s easy to forget those who, for whatever reason, are beyond the general community. Sometimes, they are remembered by token gestures. Oftentimes, they are baited by proselytizing groups. One Jewish organization is in full gear now to make sure that come Purim and Passover, no Jew is left behind.

Los Angeles, CA — A Miami Beach yeshiva student was sentenced to six months of home detention and ordered to do community service for calling in a bomb threat for a JetBlue flight at Long Beach airport after he arrived too late to board the plane last summer.

Y***** W*** acknowledged when he pleaded guilty last fall that he made the hoax threat to try to keep the Aug. 26 evening flight to Fort Lauderdale from leaving before he could board. W*** also was fined $1,000.

Attorney Donald Etra said his 22-year-old client wanted to apologize to the passengers on the flight, who were delayed about a half-hour because of the hoax. “He does realize ... that you don't mess with airlines, you don't mess with airline safety,” Etra told U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper.

An Inspiring Yud Shevat Farbrengen At YNS – Rabbi ‘O’s

The Farbrengen started off first with a beautifully prepared seuda followed by the Ma’amer niggun and then the Ma’amer of Bosi Legani was said by five Tmimim of the yeshiva. It was an unbelievable sight when each bochur began his part of the Ma’amer – with eyes closed, full of confidence and pride. Yasher koach to Hatomim Sholi Israel, Hatomim Levy Kamensky, Hatomim Shmueli Coleman, Hatomim Mendy Hahn and Hatomim Meir Roetter for a job well done!

The main points emphasized at the Farbrengen by Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Orimland, Mashpia Rabbi Levi Wilschanski and Maggid Shiur Rabbi Landesman were the Inyonim of Mesiras Nefesh by the Rebbeim which was given over to the Chassidim. Another point stressed was that in order to move forward in life we must let go of any bad experiences that one may have had in the past and once we release them we will be able to climb the ladder of life reaching heights that we never would dream of.
